The Rimon Jazz Institute is a prestigious program for outstanding musicians at the
renowned Rimon School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in Ramat HaSharon, Israel.
The Institute brings a new, inspiring and relevant curriculum in a 2-year program
designed to shape tomorrow's elite musicians in the field of jazz. Many of these out-
standing graduating students from Rimon 9o on to matriculate at Berklee College of
Music to complete their college degree.

Berklee College of Music is responding to an extraordinary outpouring of musical talen
from Israel. These gifted students are leading the way for their generation with excep-
tional dedication, perseverance, and innovation. Most Israeli students who attend Berklee
are only able to do so with scholarship support. Your contribution to this scholarship ini-
tiative makes all the difference in the lives of these young musicians, and the impact they
will have in the years to come.

We all join in expressing special gratitude to the Rimon Jazz Ensemble for their perfor-
mance this evening. Any of the funds we receive from concert goers will be added to
the newly established Scholarship Fund for Berklee's Israeli students. If you would like to
